 Understood.  I will try to advocate for positive change as responsibly as possible 
 It is obviously clickbait. The tone, rhetoric, word choices are not pushing for a greater good. The text as a whole is carefully constructed to destruct. We may demand privacy actions, understanding, and comprehension from the company. If they want to not act accordingly for our demands, than you are right. Fire at will. Otherwise it is clickbait.  
 Kemal, the issue is that companies, I’m not just talking about Mullvad here, I’m saying the bulk of “decentralized” cryptos are very reliant on big tech.  And there’s no negative consequences for doing so.  We singled Mullvad out as just one example, because we know that the other companies don’t care.  But it has to start somewhere.  Nobody wants to be the one to do it, because it means being banned from search engines and recommended algos on social media.  So ok, you can dislike my tone.  You can dislike the attack.  I get it.  But do you really want a world where 99% of the internet is involuntary companies you hate?
